Think you know everything about them? Get ready to learn some surprising new info!<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Peking Duck\u2026 from Quebec!<\/strong><br \/>\nDespite what one might assume, our ducks and duck products aren\u2019t from the same wild species that you see migrating south at the first cold snap. They\u2019re actually Peking ducks, a cream-white-feathered species originally from China, chosen for how tender and tasty their meat is and for how many eggs they produce. These aren\u2019t \u201cmade in China\u201d ducks, though\u2014our products are 100% made in Quebec and are even \u201cAliments du Qu\u00e9bec\u201d certified!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/canardsdulacbrome.com\/en\/about-us\/our-history\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4676 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/canardsdulacbrome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/canards-du-lac-brome-bouton-notre-histoire-EN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"54\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. A red meat\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile duck is technically poultry like turkey and chicken, its meat is red. However, duck meat has different textures and shades of red depending on which part of the animal it comes from. Duck wings and thighs are well-suited to slow cooking over long periods of time using roasting, braising or confit techniques. The breast has a texture closer to that of beef or wild game, and should be served rare, like a classic steak. Duck breast also contains almost as much iron as conventional red meat: 100\u00a0g of boneless duck breast has 20% of your recommended daily iron.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4669\" src=\"https:\/\/canardsdulacbrome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nutrition_TVN_Poitrine-avec-peau.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canardsdulacbrome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nutrition_TVN_Poitrine-avec-peau.jpg 225w, https:\/\/canardsdulacbrome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nutrition_TVN_Poitrine-avec-peau-198x340.jpg 198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Accurate expressions<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s an expression in French\u2014froid de canard\u2014that means that when it\u2019s truly cold out it\u2019s a \u201cduck cold.\u201d This refers to wild duck hunting, which would take place at the start of the cold season, and required hunters to keep still for hours on end. The expression \u201clike water off a duck\u2019s back\u201d refers to the fact that some types of duck have water-repellent feathers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Fries cooked in duck fat taste heavenly!<\/strong><br \/>\nDid you know that our duck fat has everyday kitchen uses, and that its nutritional properties are closer to that of olive oil than to those of other animal fats? It also has a higher smoke point than olive oil and butter, meaning our rendered duck fat is perfect for cooking french fries! Lightly coat your matchstick or wedge fries in duck fat, and then place them on a baking sheet in a 190\u00b0C (375\u00b0F) oven for 25 to 30\u00a0minutes, or until a lovely golden brown. We guarantee that you\u2019ll take to these fries like a duck to water!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/canardsdulacbrome.com\/en\/produits\/rendered-duck-fat\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4677 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/canardsdulacbrome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/canards-du-lac-brome-bouton-gras-EN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"54\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Peking duck celebrities<\/strong><br \/>\nWith their stylish white down and their cool yellow beaks, it\u2019s no surprise that Peking ducks have inspired some world-famous animated characters. Just look at Disney star Donald Duck and Clan McDuck, who were based on real Peking ducks.
